Thursday Friday set its sights on Proenza Schouler for its latest designer handbag inspired tote collection. The controversial label’s new Fest bags are screen-printed with the image of Proenza Schouler’s iconic PS1 satchel.
Thursday Friday caught the public’s attention when it famously created totes bearing the image of the Hermes Birkin bag. Hermes sued, but undeterred Thursday Friday released further totes bearing the images of Chanel’s 2.55 Flap Bags, Balenciaga’s Moto Bags, and more.
The last few releases haven’t seen the same lawsuits, so who could blame Thursday Friday for continuing to ride the wave? Their designer inspired totes have been very popular amongst cash-strapped fashionistas with an eye for luxury goods. After all, the new Fest totes start at $35, far less than the minimum $850 Proenza Schouler charges for its PS1!
The Fest bags are available with PS1 images in a variety of sizes in red, honey, orange, black, fuchsia, and the bright caicos blue pictured. Previous Thursday Friday designer inspired totes have sold out, so I don’t expect stocks of the Fest bag to last too long. They’re available now from the Thursday Friday website.
Do you like the way Thursday Friday cheekily takes inspiration from fashion giants, or do you think it deserves to be slapped with another lawsuit?
